There is located im mediately shove the dues just described a serice oi longitudinullydisposed chembers A, which ere divided from said flucs by e role tively thin wall 2' in order that the scid chambers may be eiiectively heuted. Said chambers A are formed by the well 1 end, up

or well i) and transverse partitions A. There is superposed upon the compnrtments described two odditiionsl series A" andA, provided with s top wall A and each of these series is also separated by transverse wells is. i

lie. order to eiiect suilicient heating of the materiel in the upper cbsmbers, the interwnlls A between each series of comlertments will be made of material huving e igh degree of heat conductivity, and the briquot may be sorted, so that briquets requiring an application of heat at a high tern-- peseturc may be placed in the lower series of compsrtmcnts, while those requiring heat of at lower temperature will be pierced in the u eries of compartments. Each of tiic com izi-rtmonts of each series from A to A! extent throughout the width of the furnace and are provided with suituble removable clornues A A, and A. in inserting the bricguete in the compartments the closures will be removed, and when the coking process is started they will be replaced, so that the distilled gases will be discharged in the prescribed. manner.

Each oi the transverse partitions A is provided with u plurality of apertures a, connecting ed'oin'ing compartments, and the outer or end compartments are also provided suitable to suitsblc with apertures delivering to any scene? form or gss-collector (1 the central compartments ore of suilicient size to crmit the escape of the normal volumes 0" gas to be discharged from said compnrtment. The apertures of the next outwardly-adjoining compartments are slightly increased in size with respect to said firstrnentioned apertures, and in the succeeding outer partitions the apertures are slightly and gradually increased in size. The gas from the centrel compartments traveling to the next adjoining outer compartments will consequent pressure exceeding the discharging capacities of said apertures, and this eccumulstion will cause a pressure in eschcompsrtment, which, finding no eccess in a central direction, will travel outwardly to the collector a, the said openings a ct eecb compsrtment going slightly reduced with respect to the volume of gas to be discharged. By means of this construction the (longer of are plosions in the innermost or central compsrtments is eliminated. it, will be understood, however, that the closures A to A will not be firmly secured in piece, so that if the apertures should clog and prevent proper escape of accumulating gases the same could force egress through the lateral openings of the oven. it will be understood that in on errongemcnt of this nature it will be easy to determine the relative sizes of the apertures a with respect to the size of the chamber, so that the-volume of discharging gases could be restricted to create the desired interned pressure. if, however, any difficulty in this respect were encountered, any suits e form of regulator device, such es shown in Fig. 4,

may be employed and regulated from the As shown, this form of regulator consists in providing slides D within each compartment and heaving openl ings equal to the apertures a, so thet by moving the slides slightly out of register with i said apertures the discharging capacity of the same may be varied.

l in order to create a more effective internal pressure, the apertures u of the trensverse l partitions may )6 disposed in steggercd reistion, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so that the l gases passing from one chamber to'the other terior of the oven.

will first engage its outermost well and from thence be directed laterally to the nearest uicrture therein, the resistance from this change in the course of the gases erecting an additional pressure.
